One of Coronation Street's best-loved characters eyes up a move to Norwich in episodes set to air next month.

Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Fiz Dobbs actress Jennie McAlpine would be temporarily leaving the cobbles on maternity leave.

The actress, who also appeared on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2017, is expecting her third child with husband Chris Farr.

While this will double her salary it will mean a move to Norwich for Fiz, who finally got married to Tyrone Dobbs on Christmas Day 2022. 

Coronation Street boss Iain MacLeod recently said on Loose Women that they have pre-recorded footage of her to play as video calls during her time away from the soap, so viewers will see her and Tyrone still in contact.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
